President Donald Trump called into a Pennsylvania meeting hosted by Republican state lawmakers on Wednesday, and insisted that he had actually won the 2020 presidential election.
This election was rigged and we cant let that happen, Trump said. We won Pennsylvania by a lot. And we won all of these swing states by a lot.
Anybody watching television the night of the election was saying Wow, I was called by the biggest political people, congratulations, sir, on a big win. And all of a sudden ballots were dumped all over the place and a lot of horrible things happened, he continued.

(1,606 posts)Even in most swing states, he was behind from the start. He was never ahead on electoral votes. That's what's so extraordinary about his claims. At no point during the reporting, if the counting had been stopped, would he have won.

(9,058 posts)so, let's just forget about a huge % of voters that mailed their ballots, right? Just count the voters that showed up on Election Day is what he wanted. Yeah, asshole, it doesn't work like that.
GTFO.

I cannot wait to read the blessed news - one day, soon I pray - "Trump found dead on toilet, unsent Tweet about Covfefe on phone."

(37,166 posts)All his life he's thrown tantrums to get what he wants, and time after time people have appeased him simply to not have to deal with it.
He's flailing around, proclaiming his "triumph" and excoriating the unfairness always directed at him and accusing everyone else of terrible deeds. His people are trying everything, everything in the microscopically-thin chance something will shake loose and change the election results.
All the while fundraising, of course. Sucking up cash is as reflexive to him as farting.

(13,935 posts)he needs his supporters to continue to believe that he is fighting a corrupt machine so that they will keep sending money and so that he will be able to claim that any prosecutions are politically motivated.

(26,333 posts)I don't think it's remotely possible for him to accept reality. Or to be gracious. Or to ever do the right thing. He will just continue to bloviate and attempt to bend reality into his fantasy.

Isn't it interesting how for all his hiding-from-the-cameras way, so many people walk right up to Trump, or call him on the phone, or bump into him while he's peeping into the ladies' room, call him "Sir," and tell him exactly what he wants to hear?

And the guy at the one food place open at 4:30 AM in the Düsseldorf train station selling hot tea turned out to be Mexican. We had a good laugh about two « neighbors, » a Texan and a Mexican, being the only ones crazy enough to be up and working in a German train station at this hour.

Evil lives to a ripe old age.
Tonight on Lawrence O'Donnell, he got a little giddy about covering Trump's upcoming legal battles. I can see that, but the question becomes how thoroughly the media in general will cover his every word, his every move. His game plan seems pretty obvious...if he DOES "declare his candidacy for 2024," it will be to keep his coffers full. The word is that he wants to rake in the most amount of money for the least amount of effort (the story of his life). Meanwhile, he keeps the spotlight on him constantly (also the story of his life), he paralyzes every single Republican with dreams of 2024 in their heads, and...because he has a bottomless thirst for revenge (as well documented in his ghost-written books), he MIGHT entertain the fantasy of "defeating Biden in a landslide."
Anything is possible, but every single scenario revolves around his keeping himself in the spotlight and fleecing the rubes for cash. It's also been said that he'll start charging for MAGAt rally tickets. That's a BIG cash cow. It will be golf and MAGAt rallies, the two things that have occupied his time more than anything else for the last four years.
